Ingredients:
1 Cup Non-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 Cup Cottage Cheese (2–4% Recommended For Creamier Texture)
14oz Artichoke Hearts, Drained And Chopped
5oz Frozen Spinach, Thawed And Squeezed Dry
1 Cup Shredded Low Fat Mozzarella, Divided

1/4 Cup Grated Parmesan Cheese

Directions:
For this recipe, you’ll need:
- Mixing Bowl
- Large Spoon
- Fine Mesh Strainer
- Paper Towels or Clean Kitchen Towel
- Cutting Board
- Knife
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
- 8x8 Baking Dish
- Oven
1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
2. Remove excess moisture from the spinach by placing thawed spinach in a fine mesh strainer and pressing firmly. Then wrap it in paper towels or a clean kitchen towel and squeeze until no more liquid comes out.
3. Drain artichokes thoroughly and roughly chop if pieces are large.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, spinach, artichokes, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, grated parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Stir until fully combined.
5. Spread the mixture evenly into your baking dish and top with the remaining mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
6. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are bubbling and the cheese is fully melted.
7. Switch the oven to broil for 1-2 minutes to achieve a golden, melty top. Watch closely to prevent burning.
8. Let cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
9. Serve and enjoy! Instead of traditional chips, try bell pepper slices, cucumber rounds, carrot chips, toasted pita, or protein crackers.
